FB is probably very much like the "Stijn" thread. I personally have never been interested in being involved in the minutae of other peoples lives to this degree, nor am I interested in sharing this level of detail about my own life. It's all so terribly banal it seems to me. (no disrespect to the "Stijners" intended here)
I think in the end it's a generational thing. I continue to be convinced that FB is, for the most part, a colossal waste of time. But this generation seems to have grown up with an attachment to this kind of wholly mundane exchange of information via the internet. Call me old fashioned. I'd rather meet my friends in the pub for a drink than tweet or FB with them.
